Abstract: The effects of spatial, combined spatial and temporal sampling errors, and wind measurement errors on profiler-derived divergence estimates computed using the linear vector point function method are examined. Analysis ...

Abstract: Wind fields derived from a network of three VHF Doppler radars are used to calculate the mean kinematic properties of the wind field over Colorado and an area-averaged geostrophic and ageostrophic wind. A numerical technique ...

Abstract: On 2 July 1987 a nonmesocyclone tornado was observed in northeastern Colorado during the Convection Initiation and Downburst Experiment (CINDE). This tornado, reaching FI?F2 intensity, developed under a rapidly growing ...

Abstract: A study of the finestructure within elevated stable atmospheric layers is described. The observational program consisted of measurements made with fast-response turbulence sensors on a carriage traversing a 300 m tower and ...

Abstract: his study is motivated by diverse needs for better forecasts of extreme precipitation and floods. It is enabled by unique hourly observations collected over six years near California?s Russian River and by recent advances ...
